With so many Covid restrictions still in place, it can be hard to know what to do at the weekend.

For those that don’t fancy heading to the pub or hitting the shops we have a whole list of activities you can try.

Wither you are looking for an action-packed day out with friends or some quiet couple time, the Isle of Wight has something for everyone.

Here are five things you can do with six people or less.

Paddle board

What better way to wind down welcome in summer than spending your weekend on the water?

If your balance really isn't that great or you fancy something a bit more traditional, why not try kayaking.

Tackt-Isle Adventures hire out kayaks, SUPs, and canoes. Visit their rental ‘set up’ on St Helens Beach next to the old church and public car park.

Mini golf

A family favourite and a great way to spend a day or just an afternoon. Mini golf is the ideal activity for a catch up with your friends or family and get a bit of exercise.

The island is home to several mini golf courses, including Pirates Cove and Jurassic Bay on Shanklin Seafront and Dino Islands in Sandham Gardens.

If you want grown up time, why not try golf, there are plenty of great courses to try out including overlooking the bay at Freshwater and retracing the footsteps of royalty at Osborne.
